It's also announced on Ford's Media page. Just be patient, as the announcements alternate.

I just hope it is a small body style not a big one!!!

I feel like a kid. I really have to start saving all my pennies. Wife agreed to trade in her focus and I will trade my f150 for the new bronco and new ranger.

I hope it's something we can work on, not a plastic unibody with twin I beams

No real details but here is is from the horses(Broncos) mouth!

This is the Euro ranger the U.S. one will be based on but with "unique front-end styling":

I would presume the Bronco to be similar, especially the drivetrain.

Current Ford Everest based on the Ranger

Stock photo from the Road and Track sure does look like a Raptor. Makes sense too.

If it looks anything like these pictures.............just like on Shark Tank....I'm out

x2.........top pic looks like an Avalanche, bottom looks like an Edge or Explorer.

 

[Okie69]

It's going to be a retro styled wrangler beater with a removable top. If you dream it, it will come true!

Those are awful, soccer mom cars......

If'n they are smart, it will be a modern representation of the classic.
Lessons learned with the T-bird and more like the Mustang.
Either way, I will take a take a pass as modern vehicles piss me off. My Wife and a few friends, on the other hand, are eagerly awaiting.

Yeah, nothing I've seen makes me want to give up my DD wrangler for this.

I hope Mr. Hinrichs and FORD have a clue. He states "a no compromise 4x4 capable of conquering a daily commute, gravel roads and boulders."

How many vehicles can "conquer" a gravel road? %) Sheesh.

Webster "gravel" def:
#1-obsolete: sand.
#2-loose round fragments of rock.

Webster "boulder" def:
#1-a detached and rounded or much-worn mass of rock.

Hopefully he had emphasis on "no compromise" and "boulders." ;D

And yes, the top better come off or it's a mini van with a slightly different shape.

I think they better give some clues. It's like someone telling a story, dragging it out too long and losing everybody listening. The EB popularity may have an end date.

That bronco they are showing in those photos doesn't even look as good as those car show concept cars...You know the ones that don't even have an interior and no actual drive line.
I am hoping the actual design will be rather modern but pay homage to our EB's. I think the latest Mustang does a good job of that. It has styling cues from the69-70 Mustangs. If it looked exactly like a 69-70 it wouldn't be cool to me but then if it didn't look somewhat like the 69-70 it wouldn't be cool either, so to me they've nailed the new Mustangs. They just need to do the same thing with the eb.
